Liam is Senior Lecturer in General Practice in the discipline of general practice, College of Medicine, Nursing and Health sciences, National University of Ireland, Galway ( http://www.nuigalway.ie/general_practice/). He was appointed HRB Cochrane fellow in 2007 and is lead author of Cochrane systematic reviews in hypertension as well as adherence to cardiovascular medication for BMJ Clinical Evidence. He is a GP principle in a rural practice in Ballyvaughan, Co Clare and is founding chairman of the North Clare Primary Care Team.
He qualified from Trinity College, Dublin in 1995 and, after completing general practice training in the Scottish highlands and surviving some remote health care postings to Guyana and Ecuador, he returned to National University of Ireland, Galway. Here, he completed higher training in academic general practice and was then appointed lecturer in primary care in 2004 and senior lecturer in general practice in June 2010.
Research Interests
Liam’s primary research interests are in multimorbidity with a focus on diabetes and on bringing technological solutions to healthcare through connected health. Other research interests include chronic kidney disease, hypertension and adherence to medication. He believes passionately in primary care as the foundation of every high quality health service and in the delivery of this goal through a strong evidence base emanating from primary care itself. This can only be achieved by building capacity in primary care research and education and hence he is founding clinical director of the Western General Practice Research and Education Network ( WestREN)
Current work
He is currently principal investigator on three major research programmes: Implementing Transnational Telemedicine Solutions (EU NPP Programme Grant €2.3 million 2011-2014) ATLANTIC DIP 2: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus(GDM): Screening Follow up and Intervention in the community (HRB ICE Award €670,000 2011-2015) CLARITY Study: Cardiovascular Multimorbidity in Primary Care (HRB Project Grant €330,000 2009-12).
